Professor @UniofOxford. We use zebrafish to study how cancer starts and spreads.
In defense of basic science - my new video about how we balance basic vs. translational science: youtu.be/yl6ETxRfQn8?si…. . And why we should encourage a culture of wandering to solve problems:. A team effort between @UniofOxford and @OxfordSparks.
How quickly we forget how the implementation of science can achieve truly monumental things. The moon landing is one of the most remarkable achievements of humankind. I sometimes have to pinch myself that we were able to do it.
July 20, 1969. “Contact light, engine stop.” The Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle touched down at Tranquility Base on the Moon. A few hours later, Neil Armstrong and I stepped foot on the Moon, with Michael Collins orbiting close-by. An achievement resulting from years of…
We're recruiting a postdoc to join my lab at @OxfordOncology & Centre for Immuno-Oncology, @UniofOxford to understand immune regulation in cancer and develop new approaches for cancer prevention and metastasis. Deadline: 11 August 2025 Apply here: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…
1/11 Our study on subclonal immune evasion in non-small cell lung cancer has just been published in @Cancer_Cell cell.com/cancer-cell/fu…
Hey everyone - the annual @SocietyMelanoma meeting in beautiful Amsterdam is coming up. Always a fantastic lineup of research spanning basic, translational and clinical. We also have a great trainee "pre-SMR" meeting. Join us! smrcongress.org
More than 2700 3′UTRs are highly conserved. These 3′UTRs are essential components in mRNA templates, as their deletion decreases protein activity without changing protein abundance. Highly conserved 3′UTRs help the folding of proteins with long IDRs. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Excited to share our new study on how resistance to AKT inhibition is linked to lineage differences within breast cancer 👇🏽biorxiv.org/content/10.110… and also surprisingly/worryingly good AI generated podcast 🎧notebooklm.google.com/notebook/28ebc…
Honored and deeply grateful to receive the Cancer Warrior Award from the @CUCancerCenter @CUAnschutzGS and @CUCancerBio PhD program at Colorado U. @CUSystem. Had an inspiring day engaging with students, postdocs, and faculty. Thanks! @IcahnMountSinai @TischCancer @TheMarkFdn
The Department of Oncology at @UniofOxford is recruiting a Professorship sponsored by CRUK. A great opportunity for basic or translational biologists. Details here: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…
#zebrafish people - sign up and register for this always great meeting. Back in Boston, where there is a large number of world class scientists using fish for everything from dev to disease.
Reminder - ZDM18 abstract submission is closing TODAY. With more than 50 spots available for selected speakers it is a great opportunity to highlight your work! Hope you will join @ZDMSociety in Boston this fall. 🎣 #zebrafish
Save the date #MathOnco25! October 29th-31st in Tampa, Florida. Directly before the 13th @imoworkshop (November 3rd-7th) - stay the weekend and brainstorm the beaches! More information to follow but @EvolTherapy will be a key theme @mathonco @MoffittNews
Excited to share our study describing a role for a subset of Thetis cells, TC IV, in tolerance to food antigens. A team effort led by Vanja Cabric and @YollandaPariso1 🧵 1/ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Zebrafish people! The @ZDMSociety annual meeting is in Boston this year, with a great lineup. Abstract submission is closing May 27th. Go register now for this always fun conference #zebrafish zdmsociety.org/zdm18-home
We did a deep dive into the genetics of giant waterlilies - and here's what we found:
The genome of giant waterlilies provides insights into the origin of angiosperms, leaf gigantism, and stamen function innovation #research #PlantCommunications cell.com/plant-communic…
Early results from an MSK study shows a treatment for #Parkinson’s disease that involves creating nerve cells from embryonic stem cells and transplanting them into patients is safe and may improve Parkinson’s symptoms. Read more via @NPR: n.pr/43ZW1v6
The end of the genetic paradigm of cancer? Thought provoking paper: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…
This is pretty cool. The skin is bombarded by the world, so how does it resist the onslaught? Gets colonized by neutrophils that act as a shield. Makes a lot of sense..
Thrilled to share that my latest research is now published in @Nature! 🚀🔬A special thanks to @AndrsHidalgo16 for invaluable mentorship during my PhD and to the amazing team (@alazozcan , Jackson, @lai9uan , @red_ven). nature.com/articles/s4158…
There is always a solution. Albeit this is a pretty weird one...
Balanophora is a parasitic plant that lacks chlorophyll, and steals its nutrients from tree roots. It lives beneath the rainforest floor, where once in a while, it sends up an orb that glows like the moon.
